I have one at home. I still use it from time to time too.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

Hey. New board.
Can't you set the new HPs to use RPN if you prefer? I thought you still could.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
It still freaks people out to try to use it since it uses reverse polish notation.
RPN is da bomb. I love my HP calculator. Sadly, even HP is moving away from it. I bought a non-RPN HP calc. not realizing, and eventually sold it to a co-worker unused.

We have an HP 11C with RPN. I, being a humanities major, had never heard of RPN. But I learned!

I still have fond memories of sitting in class playing Tetris on my HP 48SX. The equation editor on that thing is amazing too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The ahem guy removes links to movies from his website. I've read comments that this means he's selling out, Napster-style. Anyone here ever used bittorrent.com to find content? I didn't even know he linked.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Nope, and me neither.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
ita, I knew it existed and tried it a few times, but it was really obvious to me when I tried it (especially after the demise of suprnova) that it was not a good search engine for tv shows - which I download exclusively. I think it was geared more toward finding movies and music.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
I've recently changed to [link] as my client. It has 99% of the features of Azureus but since it doesn't require Java, only uses a fraction of the memory/resources.
Oh and it's a fraction of the size as well. The 108kb utorrent.exe you download is the program itself. No installing, just move the exe to a directory and start it running.

ZDnet gives Ubuntu the small business nod.
Whatever happened to the Linux in business revolution? Did the distributions ever make it out of the server room? Did they make it in?
